A dungeon break had erupted on the runway.
When we arrived at the airport, the dungeon break had already occurred.
People trying to evacuate surged out of the airport like a tidal wave.
Students, following their teachers’ guidance, evacuated outside, avoiding the surging crowd.
As I approached the glass window overlooking the runway, I saw the Awakened at the airport hastily blocking the monsters.
“You stay here. You remember we decided to reveal your abilities later, right?”
Yeon Hayeon grabbed my shoulder and spoke quickly.
It was on the first day of the school trip, the day Mitsuki and his gang kidnapped me to the pier.
When Yeon Hayeon and the Four Heavenly Kings saw my summons, they asked what on earth they were.
I explained to them that I had a skill called necromancy and what it entailed, step by step.
My friends listened to my explanation with curiosity and praised me.
“You have a good skill.”
Their attitude was quite different from the people who had treated me with suspicion, calling out summons before I was even possessed.
Yeon Hayeon suggested that she wanted to properly reveal my abilities later, ideally when I joined a guild, and asked to keep them a secret for a while.
It was a welcome proposal for me, so I immediately accepted.
Yeon Hayeon and the Four Heavenly Kings, guided by airport staff, descended onto the runway and ruthlessly slaughtered the monsters.
At the sight, the people who were trying to escape outside gradually slowed their running, and soon many people were pressed against the glass window, watching their battle.
“Wow, the day has come when I see this with my own eyes.”
“Do it! Kill them all!”
Even though their cheers wouldn’t reach those outside, people shouted words of encouragement at the top of their lungs.
At the same time, they were busy taking photos and videos with their phones.
Among the spectators were the three friends from Iljinsang High: Do Yihyeon, Haemaeum, and Kang Yedam.
On the first day, Iljinsang High closed a gate that opened at a scheduled tourist spot; on the last day, students from our school had to close a gate.
Outside the gate, Han Jibin, Eunbada, and Ji Ganghan remained to deal with the emerging monsters, while Yeon Hayeon and Ban Eunhyeol went in to close the gate and came out.
Yeon Hayeon and the Four Heavenly Kings entered the airport like heroes, receiving cheers from the people.
“I didn’t expect to close a gate even on a school trip.”
Eunbada said casually, looking out towards the runway.
They had quickly dealt with it, so there was no noticeable damage.
But it was still unclear exactly where the monsters that had emerged earlier had caused destruction.
“I don’t think we’ll be able to go back to Seoul today.”
His words became reality.
We were suddenly forced to stay one more day on Jeju Island.
The teachers, with worried expressions, immediately tried to find accommodation for us.
Then Ban Eunhyeol approached the grade-level head teacher and said,
“Why don’t you all stay at our hotel?”
The teacher’s eyes widened as if they would pop out.
The head teacher grabbed Ban Eunhyeol’s hand and shook it, delighted.
Ban Eunhyeol, who had solved the school’s accommodation problem in an instant, returned to us as if nothing had happened.
“It’s a good thing Eunhyeol’s hotel is on Jeju Island.”
“Thanks to him, I’ll sleep comfortably in a bed tonight!”
“As expected of a chaebol.”
The Four Heavenly Kings each uttered a remark.
Seeing this, it really hit me that Ban Eunhyeol was a third-generation chaebol.
To be able to secure accommodation for hundreds of students in one go.
We took the bus to Ban Eunhyeol’s corporate hotel, not far from the airport.
I heard that Iljinsang High would be staying for a day at a teachers’ training institute on Jeju Island, which was a huge luxury compared to that.
The bus arrived at the hotel, and the classmates who got off one by one looked at the hotel’s panoramic view with excited expressions.
Palm trees were everywhere, creating an exotic atmosphere, and there was a large outdoor swimming pool in the center.
Entering the magnificent building, the luxurious interior design caught my eye.
Students busily moved their heads, busy exploring the hotel.
The teacher received the room keys as a representative and assigned rooms to groups.
Yeon Hayeon and I were assigned to the same room, so as soon as I got the key, I dragged my suitcase to the room.
A room with twin beds and an antique atmosphere greeted us.
As soon as we entered, through the large window opposite, we could see the hotel’s swimming pool, garden, and the sea beyond, all at once.
We casually unpacked our bags and went outside.
Students who had just dumped their luggage and come out to explore the hotel were visible everywhere.
“Oh, guys!”
Han Jibin spotted us and ran over happily.
“Eunhyeol’s hotel is nice, right? I never thought we’d get to sleep here!”
“Yeah, it’s really good.”
I looked around the hotel anew and said to Ban Eunhyeol,
“Now I really feel that you’re a chaebol.”
“It’s nothing like that.”
We decided to fully enjoy the extended school trip.
We swam freely in the pool and had a rich last day, eating dinner at the buffet.
In the evening, all the classmates gathered in the Four Heavenly Kings’ room, which was assigned the largest room among us.
Everyone brought snacks and sat casually on the floor.
“Let’s play Truth or Dare!”
One of the classmates set the mood, saying that for the last day, Truth or Dare was the only way to go.
We sat in a circle and placed a drink bottle in the middle.
“Alright, I’ll spin it.”
Eunbada spun the drink bottle as a representative.
The game was played by the person the bottle cap pointed to answering a question.
If they couldn’t answer, they had to chug a shot of anchovy extract bought from the convenience store.
The bottle spun, and the first friend it landed on was asked a light question.
Questions like a physical secret no one knew, or if they ever thought they were handsome or pretty.
Everyone laughed heartily and answered the questions honestly, so no one had to drink the anchovy extract yet.
This time, the spun bottle pointed at me.
As soon as a male classmate from our class saw that, he asked me,
“Ideal type!”
“Oh, you liked Dana?”
“Right. Why would they ask about an ideal type?”
At that one question, my classmates swarmed like hyenas who’d found prey.
The boy who’d asked me about my ideal type waved his hands, denying it.
“It’s a standard Truth or Dare question! Why are you all picking on me?”
His voice was full of indignation.
Suddenly, I felt a subtle killing intent emanating from Ban Eunhyeol, who was sitting next to me.
“Isn’t it a bit cold? Did a window open somewhere?”
“Nah, the night air in Jeju is naturally chilly.”
My classmates mistook the chill for cold weather and concluded it was due to Jeju’s cold night air. I pondered the question I’d received.
“Ideal type? I haven’t really thought about something like that.”
“Aw, no way! You have to answer unconditionally!”
“If you can’t answer, anchovy extract!”
Han Jibin held up a paper cup with anchovy extract in front of me, smiling brightly.
It was nothing short of a devil’s smile.
“Hey, wait a minute. Everyone knows Dana’s ideal type! Let’s ask something else.”
Just then, someone suddenly spoke, looking at Ban Eunhyeol as if they’d just remembered something.
An awkward atmosphere instantly flowed.
My classmates, who had been loudly chattering just moments before, looked back and forth between me and Ban Eunhyeol, sensing the mood.
‘I shouldn’t have sat next to him.’
We’d gotten close enough during the school trip to comfortably tease each other, but now it felt awkward again.
I remembered Ban Eunhyeol looking at me with disdain in the early days of my possession.
Back then, I couldn’t even imagine my future turning out like this. Indeed, no one knows what life holds.
“I don’t like Ban Eunhyeol anymore. My ideal type has changed.”
I spoke calmly, as I had been saying this for a while.
Then, the tactless classmate who had brought it up beamed and asked,
“Oh, really? What is it now?”
I glanced at Ban Eunhyeol, who was sitting next to me.
As I recalled the past, it seemed like “I’m uncomfortable” was written all over his face, as if the unpleasant memories had resurfaced.
“Hmm, a kind person?”
“Aw, what’s that? What about their face?”
“The more handsome, the better.”
At my answer, my classmates burst into laughter, agreeing with me.
Someone even said they’d admit I had high standards if I liked Ban Eunhyeol enough, which led to another brief, awkward silence.
Everyone knew I had relentlessly pursued Ban Eunhyeol, which was why they were being so cautious around me and him.
“Wait, I answered twice, didn’t I? If I get picked next time, let me skip one.”
“No such thing!”
“It’s right here.”
I had already answered “a kind person,” but I’d thoughtlessly answered the second question.
Ending the negotiation with a firm tone, I managed to get one question pass.
This time, the spun bottle cap pointed at Yeon Hayeon.
One of the classmates bravely asked,
“Is it true that you’re a gang boss?”
The rumor was rampant, but Yeon Hayeon being a gang boss had never been broadcast, nor had she ever spoken about it herself.
When one person took the initiative to ask, the classmates’ curious gazes fell on Yeon Hayeon.
“Yes. Didn’t you know?”
Yeon Hayeon, who had never mentioned it before, answered nonchalantly and spun the bottle.
Her classmates’ mouths dropped open in surprise that such a big rumor was true, but Yeon Hayeon didn’t care.
This time, the bottle spun and pointed at Ban Eunhyeol.
Then, a girl who often spoke with a sarcastically gentle tone stepped forward and asked,
“Do you have someone you like?”
It was a question that every female student in our school, no, every high school student who knew Ban Eunhyeol, would be curious about.
I could even hear the sound of someone swallowing dryly somewhere.
‘No way he would.’
I was confident because there was no sign of him getting together with Yeon Hayeon, the original protagonist.
But Ban Eunhyeol gave a completely unexpected answer, different from what I thought.
I thought it was a question that didn’t require any thought, but Ban Eunhyeol, who had cupped his chin and was seriously contemplating, opened his mouth.
